Ronaldo – Yay or Nay?
Quite simply - now that he’s left Manchester United, would you take him on a free for the remainder of the season... assuming he’d be interested?

Championship at best.
3 Posted 22/11/2022 at 18:55:42
He also still wants Champions League football this season, but is he not “Cup Tiedâ€, or is that waived after the group stages?
4 Posted 22/11/2022 at 18:57:06
I think that is waived after January to allow players to move in the transfer window without that issue.

So no, I don't imagine Everton is his solution.
7 Posted 22/11/2022 at 20:14:04
Say what he wants, do what he wants.
Player manager, don't care.
He might buy us, player manager.
Put a sun bed in the changing room.

We would go from having no fire power to considerable fire power up front.

He will still score if used as a goal-hanger (the last thing a player loses is technique) but that's not enough for challenging outfits. Cack like us, where no one can hit a cow's arse with a banjo, is a different matter.
Get him in!

Rob (3) — a more serious objection. Assuming we can finesse this somehow.
Of course he wouldn't want to come and is poison but we are in trouble goal-wise — in case you hadn't noticed, Mike…
15 Posted 22/11/2022 at 21:37:10
Arrogant, petulant and privileged… would probably fit right in!
16 Posted 22/11/2022 at 21:51:16
He's was on 𧺬k X 26 weeks* = 㾹.5M.
*Plus no longterm contract equals he won't be in the never decreasing deadwood pile
This is a double-edged question - but what sort of striker can you get for 㾹.5M these days?
How you frame your answer will decide if you're a Yay or a Nay.
I'm a Yay.

Meanwhile, I see United are up for sale now. Maybe they can do a BOGOF deal with the Shite?
19 Posted 22/11/2022 at 22:23:40
13.5 m would be peanuts compared to what relegation would cost, so the money wouldn't be an issue if he wanted to stay in the Northwest for 6 months if his kids are in school here.

After a final payday
Topping up his pension
Too old
Another man Utd reject.
21 Posted 22/11/2022 at 22:53:02
"Have you seen his goals record?"
Really, dude?
Yes, of course, obviously I was joking.
22 Posted 22/11/2022 at 23:24:56
It's like asking in the 1960's, "IF SHE WAS INTERESTED, would you be willing to shag Raquel Welch?"
Er, yes, but no chance, and meanwhile the real world goes on.
......... with us scuffling about in Australia in search, again (as in again, and again and again) of the ever elusive "magic formula" that will transform us into a team sure to avoid relegation despite squandering way over £half a billion to achieve it.

Ronaldo wouldn't come here to even take a piss in our lavvy then walk away.
He's going to some Middle Eastern club that will offer a billion quid a week or something mental.

Really think the arse is about to fall out of football finances. United and Liverpool for sale is very telling IMHO. They KNOW the peak is here. Without that superleague theft, there is nowhere else to go.
We got no choice but to invest in attackers in January, but really want to see us start cutting cloth and giving real pathways to the likes of Warrington, Simms, Mills, Cannon, Price, Welsh, Branthwaite, Samuels-Smith et al over the next year.

I'd have Jackie Weaver at centre-forward if I thought it would guarantee our Premier League status.
